(being rude without straight out tellin' it how it is).
Not exactly being rude, but I remember early on in my "career" I had a nametag made that had a ebonics type name on it (nothing offensive). I was in a hurry and accidentally grabbed that nametag one day and be damned if the Zone MGR came in (I didn't notice the name tag til later). Said my hello, fake smile, etc. Later saw the name tag i was wearing. Didn't hear anything of it.
lol yea i had a ebonic name tag for like 6 months..funny everytime a customer would say thank you ___err ___ like they are confused. Had to give it up when I had child support papers served to me on accident.
